First post, by zee guest ^_^
Hello there, first, thanking you in advance for taking off your time to answer my please (also, promised, you wont get two tons of question marks when i ask questions, as i've seen on some guest posts đ)
I have been unearthing my old Fantasy General and Master of Magic cd, and felt the urge to toy with 'em again. Basically, i'm on a 2.1ghz athlon on an ASUSA7N8X (albeit, for some reason, i've just seen it be detected as a 1.33ghz processor.... go figure, that magic box i call a computer cracks me up đ” ), with 512 dd-ram, a radeon 9700 with 128mb memory, using a Sound Blaster platinum 5.1 (with EAX, shiny!), and i basically am on the dreaded Windows XP.
All in all, i've been finding many "possible solutions" on the forums of Home of the Underdog, a number of them including the use of VDMSound (i use the 2.0.4, with the update package). I tried every single config the guys suggested, be it including or not the said VDMS program. Nothing of this worked, i either got the dos window closing directly or had each a time the "requiring 2700k of expanded memory" (i do not recall the exact terms, ah, well).
I also tried using Dosbox 0.60, but for some reason i cannot get the bugger to work on my computer (after reading the readme and, after realizing there was one, the french readme, but to no avail).
I know it's basically asking to do all the job for me, but could you please tell me how to configure VDMSound (i believe that since it worked for some it's gotta work for me đ ) to best match the requirements of Master of Magic (and what soundcard would be best to put during the installation?), or if anyone knows for Fantasy General (with that game, i basically get thrown back to windows all the time, whatever the configs i try.)?
Thanking you a lot in advance, and hoping i am not too much of a pain :p
